The California Attorney General's office recently issued an official title and summary for a new anti-choice ballot initiative. The title of the new initiative is "Mandatory Reporting of Pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Minors as Abuse."

This dangerous new initiative seeks to amend the constitution and current law to require mandated reporters, like Planned Parenthood, to report any diagnosis of pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection in patients under 16 as abuse, regardless of the age of their sexual partner.

The estimated financial impact to the state is approximately $11 million for health and social services costs and costs to local law enforcement and the courts.

Note that Planned Parenthood Golden Gate gives a figure for the "estimated financial impact" of reporting such abuse. Apparently we taxpayers would be far better off if sex crimes against children were never reported.
